17 U.S.C. § 107
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 17 U.S.C. § 106 and 17 U.S.C. § 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.
- alphaalpha101 9y agoThere's a difference between 'this image has just sold for the most an image has ever been sold for!' and embedding a low resolution photo, which is the news reporting exception, and embedding the original as part of another, unrelated-to-the-image news story.
